"mommy" that's what they call her. [ speaking foreign language ]. >> translator: we miss your warmth and caress, they said, tamerlan said mommy, i love you and dzhokhar's voice said i love you too, mommy. she watched the boy's father filmed her earlier in the week see them

this is really where tamerlan tsarnaev left his backpack. and we spoke to a couple of girls who came back -- they were standing right here, and they were amazed at the twist of fate that allowed them to escape uninjured, while others were not so lucky. take a listen, piers. >> it feels like it didn't happen. sometimes it feels like it's all in our head and that we're going crazy. because it doesn't make sense that we were standing right there, and we're here and we're alive and safe and we're going to be okay. >> reporter: and the description they gave, one thing that's very frustrating to them, they can't really remember. it was almost a blur. they thought the blast had come up from below and all of a sudden they said it felt for like five to ten seconds they were just paralyzed, they can't move and then things started coming into focus. but not so much what was going on, but shapes and colors, and they saw people who had fallen and people who were wounded, and one of the girls said, you know, by remarkable twist of fate, it was the girl ne

tamerlan, i think, same problem. same problem. somebody changed his mind and religion. >> intriguing to say the least. did the two young men know each other? back now with juliette kayyem, the cnn national security analyst and former homeland security assistant secretary. juliette, it really is fascinating because the parallels are obvious. you've got two young boxers who had come to live in america and then become radicalized, one dies in a shootout with russian authorities, one dies in a shootout with american authorities after blowing up the boston marathon but as the father said there, again, the parallel's clear, isn't it, that the son changed dramatically. we hear that about tamerlan, too, that somebody somewhere or a group of people got to these two young men and turned their heads. >> right. and that's a story that has to be investigated and validated. this is a common story. there's also another similarity between the two of them, which is the family members insisting that it just wasn't them. and this is why we need sort
